Something Blue...

Blue is such an easy color to incorporate to any beach wedding, but I had never thought about incorporating the beach into your blue! I think the above hair pins do just that. The unique hair accessories allow you to express your unique stile while providing a subtle touch of blue (turquoise) in your hair.

Winter Berries, Color Inspiration # 4

Found this beautiful image via Anna Maria Horner blog. I instantly fell in love with the colors which lead to me create this week's color inspiration palette. The Palette consists of a deep shade of Cranberry, Hot Pink (Fusia), Silver and only hints of moss to add a nature feel. Last but not least, lots of White to make the colors pop.

Free January 2010 Printable Calendar

Great to be back from the holiday break! I'm kicking-off my first work week of 2010 with my new printable calendar. ~ Wishing you all a great year filled with joy, health and many celebrations.

Warm Wishes

I never owned a pair of leg warmers back in the 80's when they were "in" but I think I may give 'em a try sometime soon. I have my eyes set on these. Unless you buy them first, of course, then I'll have to wait and see if any others tempt me to make a fashion statement as I keep myself warm this winter season.

Life is Bee-utiful!

Can't believe it's been two weeks since my last post! Things just tend to get a little crazy around the holidays. For me, it was good crazy. Even though I was sick with a severe cold and lost my voice for two days, it almost went unnoticed compared to the great time I had with my family. We made lots of new memories and lots of great presents! Yes, my sisters and I decided on a "handcrafted" Christmas this year and it was great! I got some tasty treats from my younger sister, a bib necklace and beaded earrings from my little sister, and a butcher block and a cork board made out of wine corks from her boyfriend! Really, really cool, I can't wait to share the pictures of the gifts I made and the gifts I received.

In the meantime, as I slowly get out of vacation mode and into work mode and catch up on things, I'd like to wish you all the very best for the coming year. For me, this is a time of reflection, acceptance, anticipation and joy as we welcome the new year with open arms ready to receive the blessings and lessons that will come along with it.

Rejoice my friends, life is beeutiful!

Color Inspiration # 3

This week's color inspiration comes from a photo image by Life Love Paper (found via Simply Hue). I typically don't think of pink as a holiday color, but after being awed by such beautiful blend of complimentary colors which lifted my holiday spirit, I found myself inspired and eager to share.
